sCONsIN, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 10. 1887.
From the results we have noticed, we

From the results We have noticed, we
must draw several conclusions That too
little attention is given to mental drill
with view to accuracy and rapidity is
very evident. Mental drills, in the adj
vent of the new arithmetics, were highly
commended to the teachers, who while
they quickly tossed overheard the old
fashioned mental arithmetic, but failed to
take up and make an intelligent use of the
new mental drills. Often we hear the
pupil-and the teacher too-say II had
the theory of the example but made a
mistake in my work" This is but con-
fession of that lack of training which
mental arithmetic should give him.
When it comes to practice, the teacher
should ever keep in mind that all arith-
metic work is absolutely worthless unless
accurate The only arithmetic which is
accurate is mental arithmetic. Therefore
if that be faulty the written work is
worthless.
Time which is spent in having the pu-
pill tell over the steps in an operation, ev-
cry one of which is plainly evident TO any
one with eyes, is time worse than wasted.
II has a tendency to narrow the pupils
comprehension, and it draws his atten-
ton in direction from which he receives
no knowledge. This time could be made
to largely contribute to the pupils mental
acumen by giving him combinations for
rapid calculation increasing in rapidity as
fast as accuracy will permit, and by giving
him practical examples in the relation of
whose numbers he is to discover the short
est cut to the correct result 1t is not
enough that the pupil may add, subtract,
multiply and divide with accuracy and
rapidly, but that he see instantly, when
an example is submitted to him, the
shortest way by which he can Obta y the
result.
Concise analyses for the four funda-
mental operations should early be made
familiar to the pupil. As rule long alb
struse analyses are positive damage and
should be avoided
Had we marked the written arithmetic
papers solely according to accuracy-giv-
| ing nothing for the "know-how" unless
the work was accurate-the number of
fallen would have been considerably in
creased. And yet in the practical world
the "know-how" is received with sneers
unless it is backed by accurate work.
Mental arithmetic must help us out of
this. Let us go to work at it this winter.
Be contented to commence low down and
work up. Work enthusiastically and
diligently. Ifyour work be old-fashioned
no matter. 1t is better than none at all.
Use it till you can handle the new intelli-
gently but do something to lift your pupils
from the miserable slough Of inaccuracy.
River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1887-11-10

In the late examinations one of the
questions in the mental arithmetic scheme
which was submitted to the applicants
was the following:-A man sold lot for
fifty which had cost him sixty dollars,
What per cent. did he lose? The exam
pie was distinctly read to the applicants
and three minutes given in which 20 find
the result mentally and place simply the
answer ON paper. The following results
were gained from ninety-four applicants;
forty-two worked it right, thirty-eight
missed it and fourteen did not attempt
it.
Another example was the following for
the solution of which nearly four minutes
were given:-How much will bu. 2 PIX.
and 8 Of. of chestnuts cost at Z cents a
quart? This example was sometimes read
twice. Thirty-one gave the correct an
swer, fifty-four failed and nine did not
attempt it.
Another example was the following
A man having certain number of pigs
sold Of them at one time, of the re-
mainder at another and / ofwhat he then
had left, when he had nine remair ing
How many had he at first? This example
was invariably read twice and attention
called to the fact that the fractions were
J, and I and the last remainder was g..
The following results were brought in: OF
ninety-four, twenty-five found the right
answer, forty-four failed and twenty-seven
did not attempt it.
Another:-How many yards on the side
of forty acres of land which is in the form
of a square? Twenty-Five succeeded on
this, fifty-one failed and twenty-one did
not attempt it.
Another:-What is the interest ON 1920
for two years and months at per cent?
| They were allowed almost their own time
ON this. Results as follows: Thirty-two
successful, thirty-nine failures and twenty
three who did not attempt it.
The remaining portion of the scheme
was made up of simple combinations Of
small numbers with results about the
same.
In answer to questions casually asked
it was invariably agreed by those who had
studied mental arithmetic that this
scheme was very easy while the exact
reverse was conceded by those who had
not. This Of course eommends the scheme
to say the least.
